Hello everyone,
I was wondering if it was safe to put a few lines(about 2 or 3) from a publication that I wrote for my school into my college essay. If there is a chance that someone who read the publication decides to apply to the same colleges as I do and plagiarizes the essay that I wrote, will colleges give me a chance to prove that I was not the one who plagiarized?
Cite your source even if you were the original author, and you will be fine.
